In honor of L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon Executive Chef Steve Benjamin being profiled in this Thursday’s Las Vegas Weekly, we thought we’d post some tasty snaps of his fabulous food.
And tell you he was named after Steve McQueen.
Just thought you’d like to know.
Frederic Robert — pastry chef extradordinaire — co-author of Alain Ducasse Desserts, and the man who was most responsible for putting the Wynn/Encore pastry/bread/chocolate/desserts on the world’s culinary map, had his last day at the patisserie stoves last Friday.
ELV has no idea what’s going on over at Wynn/Encore…but at this point we’ve asked the good p.r. folks over there to give us a list of every great chef who has, or is about to be canned or shoved aside, so as to make all this bad news easier on our tender psyche.
Because this is like being nibbled to death by minnows….
